The speakers who lent their voices at Oshodi Gallery in Ikorodu, Lagos, were led by the paramount ruler of Ikorodu HRM Kabiru Adewale Oba Shotobi. He said: “Right from when we are young, we had learned that going on excursion remains one of the ways by which we can best learn and that methodology is still very potent till today. What you learned through tourism in one month, you can never learn it in the classroom in one year.”
Similarly, Tomoloju said the country’s game reserves that used to be the pastime of foreign tourists are now havens for bandits, kidnappers and other criminals.“I am calling on the Federal Government to save our tourism by ensuring that our security forces are constantly put on their toes,” he said, adding that “We have lost counts of number of innocent Nigerians and foreigners that are being kidnapped on daily basis by criminals and bandits.
He therefore enjoined Nigerians not to relent in wearing their native clothing, speaking their dialects, and traditional dance, adding that these are what interest foreigners whenever they come visiting. At present, he said the gallery houses more than 17,000 artworks, an is being manned by 23/standby artistes and seven corps members.
